Chapter 883 Naturalization Collection

The City of Naturalization is not small, but there are not many places worth visiting. It is actually an enlarged fortress. In order to ensure the smooth collection of personnel and materials, many houses in the past have been demolished and built into spacious and straight roads, which can ensure the highest efficiency when necessary.

Moreover, there are regulations for everyone living everywhere. For example, the guards of various caravans and merchants in the city do not live with their master's house, but live in places near each city gate according to the arrangement. These armed forces will be used to defend the city as soon as possible.

The Sanjiang Trading Company had a total of thousands of guards, which was in the heart of the city and was adjacent to the officers and soldiers. This arrangement was also made by Wang Tong. If the caravan guards wanted to make trouble, the Sanjiang Trading Company's guards and the official troops immediately went to suppress them.

The craftsmen live near the craftsmen, and even the top figures of the craftsmen must do so. The wealthy families in the city will disperse them as much as possible, and all arrangements are for military and stability.

Under such regulations, there are only two restaurants in the city, and they were specially opened by Sanjiang Trading Company. The dishes are not worth mentioning, mainly selling spirits. The rich merchants in the city wanted to have a big banquet, and they roasted lamb and barbecue according to the customs on the grassland. The real thing to make a living was to hire a chef to come over in Datong City.

However, according to the introduction of the local shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, this situation will be broken soon. Some merchants from Henan have already set their sights on this business opportunity, bought land, started construction after spring, and asked famous chefs to come.

It is strictly forbidden to the brothels and gambling houses in the city. As for whether there are secret prostitutes or dice shops outside the city, everyone is too lazy to care about them. There are always **s to vent, and it is not good to be too strict.

There are shops in the city, ranging from groceries to luxury goods, and business is booming. The people inside and outside the city, Mongolians and people from all ethnic groups coming in and out.

But for Wang Tong, who started to run Tianjin Wei and lived in the capital, this is nothing more than the result of construction through experience.

Wandering around was to relax. The accompanying General Tan also understood that after walking around the city, he led Wang Tong to the north city.

When I was riding a horse by, Wang Tong only saw that there was a large open space here, and there were soldiers and guards practicing here. This time, General Tan came here, but saw that there were people coming and going here, which was extremely lively and looked like a big market.

"Master, every tenth of the month, this place is a big market. Merchants and people inside and outside the city can come here to trade and trade. Each stall only collects ten kilograms of hay."

Ten kilograms of hay elsewhere are more troublesome. They are available on the grassland, which is almost free, and is considered one of the good policies. However, at this scale, there are at least thousands of stalls, tens of thousands of people who are active there, and they are held three times a month. There are also a lot of hay in the naturalized city, which has solved many problems for itself. It is a mutually beneficial method.

"The Chinese New Year is held during the first lunar month and the market does not open until the 20th, so it seems particularly lively here."

Seeing Wang Tong's appreciation on his face, General Tan also felt a light on his face and smiled and introduced.

Wang Tong nodded and walked towards the market. The guards around him pushed people away. The market was crowded with people, and they also saw that Wang Tong's group was not ordinary people, and they all consciously dodged.

The outermost circle is the livestock market, and cattle, horses, sheep and pigs are all traded here. However, at this time, livestock are losing weight, and the appearance is not good, and buyers pay less attention to it, so there is really nothing to pay attention to.

When they walked in, the people outside the city set up stalls here, some people hunted prey and picked medicinal materials outside. These were more Mongolians and foreigners. The Han people outside the city all brought fabrics made by their own women, and some small things came here to trade.

The shops and shops in the city also sent out friends to come here to buy and sell. Their stalls were much more decent, and at least they built a shed with various goods displayed.

Wang Tong understood these goods. They were all silks and cloths that were about to fade, some utensils that were damaged, broken corners and cracked, etc., and they were still useful, but the quality was not good, and the price was cheap, so the people were very enthusiastic.

In the market, there was a group of people carrying baskets containing food such as sesame cakes, bacon, and meat, and shouting back and forth. These were the same. The market in the Ming Dynasty was also like this.

"There are no thieves here. In places like Tianjin Wei, there must be many thieves in it."

Wang Tong could hear that it was Bao Erxiao's question, and heard another person explaining:

"There are also thieves. They erected wooden stakes outside the market and hanged them directly. After working twice, no one was afraid of them."

Wang Tong smiled. In such a place, the most effective method is the most effective method. After all, there are still some new things. Wang Tong saw a shop for repairing bows and arrows. There is also a stall that purchases worn-out weapons and repairs them on behalf of others, and trades them for new ones. Of course, a part of the fee is required. Most of the people patronize are Mongolians and foreigners, and there are many local people. The northern part lives in different mainland areas. Even good people must carry weapons to defend themselves.

What I have never seen before is a wine shop, a simple tent with a large open door, with a row of wine jars inside. From time to time, someone goes in and handes a wine bag to the guy inside. The guy pours white wine in a funnel. Without going in, you can smell the strong aroma of wine at the door of the tent.

There were very few Han people who entered this shop, all of them were nomads wearing leather robes. They made wine in the tent, and when they walked out of the tent, they couldn't help but take a few sips, breathing and were extremely satisfied. There were also several small vendors around the tent who were looking for business opportunities, selling jerky there, and their business was good.

"Camels are good willows, Mongolians are good wine, this is true."

Wang Tong smiled and said, "Camel is good willow, and Mongolian wine is a record of the notes of the Song people. Cai Nan read it and talked about it with Wang Tong. It is already a common saying that the Mongolians are good at drinking. Camels like to eat willow branches and leaves. Wang Tong also saw it with his own eyes in the capital, so he felt this feeling casually.

But then Wang Tong remembered something and asked again:

“Is this wine shop official or private?”

General Tan was stunned for a moment, looked at the wine shop a few times, and immediately replied:

“It’s private.”

Wang Tong was silent for a while, walked forward, and said in a deep voice after walking a few steps:

"The north is bitter and cold. No matter who people like to drink a few sips of strong liquor, but brewing strong liquor consumes food. Now it's a big deal here. Brewing wine and selling wine can only be sold by the government. There is still a control over this."

Speaking of this, Wang Tong paused, shook his head and said again:

"The government cannot do it. Sooner or later, the fortune will be ruined. When I go back, I will explain to Meng Duo that from now on, private winemaking transactions will be strictly prohibited in the inner and outer cities, and Sanjiang Trading Company will do it."

Of course, a group of people would not have any objections. Brewing and selling spirits on the grassland is a huge profit. If you leave such huge profits to your family to make a fortune, Meng Duo and his group of people would all share dividends. This is a happy thing, and the official will not have any objection.

In addition to Han merchants selling utensils, some merchants from the Western Regions set up stalls to buy and sell. The ground was covered with felt, and they were filled with various utensils, including copper, iron and tin plates, kettles, bowls and plates, and the patterns were carved on them, which were quite Western-European style. This is also interesting. Wang Tong stayed in front of such a stall for a long time and watched it for a while.

"Master, it's not too early to go home for dinner?"

Tan Jiang asked and said, Wang Tong looked forward. It seemed that there was an open space in front. The market should have reached its end. However, it seemed very lively there. In such a market, there would be no two livestock markets. What are they doing? Looking at the pedestrians around him, many people were excited to pass.

"What's the hurry for lunch? Come and take a look."

Wang Tong said casually and was about to walk forward. Tan Jiang coughed twice awkwardly, and said again:

"Master, there's nothing to see over there."

"Is there anything inconvenient for me to see?"

Wang Tong also came back and asked, "Jiang Tan didn't want to let him go over and see it, so he used other reasons to delay and stop him here. When Wang Tong stared at him, Jiang Tan quickly bowed his head and said embarrassedly:

"There is no place in Guihua City that the master cannot see, but I'm afraid the master will not like it after seeing it. Moreover, the dirty and pickled place is not something that the master has gone to."

"Aren't you very happy to watch it all the way? Isn't this market quiet and clean? If you say this, you must go and see it, otherwise you will be curious."

Wang Tong teased and walked forward. General Tan chased after him with a wry smile, leaned closer and said:

"Master, Guihua City is different from the Ming Dynasty. There are some things that may not be favored by the Lord, but this is common in Guihua City."

Wang Tong waved his hand, obviously a little impatient. General Tan did not dare to say anything, and followed him up.

Walk out of the street where stalls are on both sides and walk to the open space at the other end of the market. It occupies a little less land than the mule and horse market there, but it is ten times more lively. Many decently dressed people walked around here, with tents of all sizes, and wooden platforms that seemed to be during military parades, with people standing on them.

"Come and see, everyone is a strong man, can raise animals, and can still farm for a few years of training."

"The guest official came here. The woman looked dirty and didn't smell good. She took her back to wash, waited at home, or ordered the people below."

"One hundred taels, what do you say? It's expensive. Open your eyes and see. This is a woman from Taiji. There are dozens of guards in the six majors in Fenzhou. If you don't buy it, you will sell it to Shanxi. If you want one thousand taels, you will want it."

Here, people were traded like animals. Wang Tong looked around and found that his personal guards were stunned, while Tan Jiang looked embarrassed and restless.

“People market”

Wang Tong said with a smile—
